The Day to Day

I often post about Holidays, vacations, or other big events so for memory sake, here is one about our everyday stuff.

We have spent most of our free time outdoors lately.  We love exploring new parks and trails.  Sunshine does something for my soul.

Kyson does mommy school once a week with a couple of friends.  I just started coaching him in soccer as well, which he LOVES.

We got the Pass of all Passes and are thoroughly enjoy free bowling, mini golf, rock climbing, and laser tag.

When at home we spend a lot of time doing crafts.  Jaylee and I have converted Kyson… he enjoys crafting as well.  We also play a lot of games(they are kids after my own heart), do science experiments and other fun learning, read, pretend, and fit in time for chores and snacks(we all seem to be hungry all of the time :).

Jaylee and Kyson share a room and often fall to sleep together.  They sometimes keep each other up forever, but I do love hearing them talk and play together.

We make weekly trips to the library for story time and to get a load of books., and we try to catch any other free/fun event going on around us.

we do VERY little tv/computer/wii time.  Usually one or two 20-30 minute shows a week.  Someday this may change, but for now I think there are so many other things I would rather do with my children then have them in front of a screen.

I feel soooo very blessed to have the life that I do.  There are days that are challenging, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.  I am so grateful that my Father in Heaven has entrusted me with three of His beautiful children.  They(and Mike) truly are my world!

Your day to day life sounds like so much fun! We are moving to Eagle Mountain this summer, maybe we could get together sometime! Your kids are adorable :)

You're a terrific mom. I love how little screen time you have in your home and that you cook and bake together. Basically, I think everything you do is wonderful! Keep up the good work!

What a great idea! I always forget to post the ordinary:) Glad you have so many fun things going on, but then i'd never expect less from you. You dear friend are amazing!

Sounds like you're doing an awesome job! And the best part is that they may not remember all the fun things you did, but they will remember that they had fun with their mom and how cool their mom is instead of being little tech-nerds :)
